10. If you opted to Select Migration Content earlier, the display bar will instead read Waiting for select when the .zip has unpacked. Click on Select Content. Then you will be given a Select Content menu where you can check off which items to import. When finished click Select Content. The display bar will show the progress of the content. When the content has uploaded to Canvas it will read Completed.

About Importing from Blackboard

Please note that you can only import content from Blackboard once. Subsequent imports will overwrite and erase any content that was previously imported into your Canvas site.

Where does my content go?

Assignments go to Assignments (however to receive student submissions online they should be reset)

Quizzes/Tests/Surveys go to Quizzes (all copy over unpublished/unavailable to students)
